Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle body parts, and more particularly to opening and closing components, such as tailgates or side doors, and especially to the integration of equipment housed therein. Background Technology

[0002] For example, a motor vehicle tailgate typically includes an outer panel (also called an "outer skin") placed on top of an inner panel (also called an "inner liner").

[0003] The inner panel has a first opening in the upper portion of the tailgate designed to accommodate a window. In the lower portion of the tailgate, the inner panel generally includes small cutouts that allow partial passage to secure the components.

[0004] In most vehicles, the tailgate integrates side rear turn signals, such as brake lights, in the lower portion of the tailgate, typically a left and a right light symmetrically positioned on either side of the tailgate. Preferably, these two lights are arranged along the side edge of the tailgate and as close to that edge as possible to assist the rear lights located on the vehicle body when the tailgate is closed. Suppliers currently manufacture such lights as lighting units or optical units. Such optical units include a rear portion, i.e., a housing, in which the lighting equipment is arranged, and glass, also called a lens, through which light passes when the light is on. These two side lights are added to and mounted on the outer surface of the tailgate, which has numerous drawbacks.

[0005] First, a lampshade must be installed that is sealed relative to the optical housing to protect the lighting equipment. Furthermore, the operator needs to install these two side lights at two different locations on the tailgate, connecting the wiring harness within them, and ensuring the installation is sealed to prevent water from potentially entering the tailgate's volume defined by the inner and outer skins as it passes between the lights and the outer skin, which would create practical operational difficulties.

[0006] Another drawback is that the side lights added as a result look like an afterthought, lacking continuity with the rest of the tailgate, which detracts from its aesthetics. In fact, a tendency among vehicle manufacturers is to make the various exterior surfaces of a vehicle flush with each other, appearing seamless. In some configurations, the light-emitting elements may even remain partially or completely invisible from the outside, for example, when they are not activated. This is also the case for radar located behind opaque walls.

[0007] In addition to the side light issue, another tendency of vehicle manufacturers is to integrate illuminated features at the rear of the vehicle, such as continuous lighting between the side sections of the tailgate. Such lighting devices are generally also added from the outside of the tailgate, which can potentially cause sealing problems or issues with them not being flush with the rest of the tailgate.

[0008] Finally, the tailgate may integrate components that assist driving (such as radar, lidar, or cameras) or components that enable communication (such as antennas or screens). All of these components should be integrated into the tailgate in a sealed manner and flush with the rest of the tailgate (e.g., by means of a radar dome).

[0009] Therefore, it is desirable to arrange these devices as close as possible to the outer skin, preferably between the inner panel and the outer skin.

[0010] Currently, a tailgate for a motor vehicle is known from patent document FR 3010351, which includes a technology panel (carrying a group of technology components) added to the lower portion of the inner panel, and the inner panel and technology panel are glued together to their tailgate exterior skin.

[0011] However, such a solution is unsatisfactory because it means that the inner panel and outer skin can only be glued together after the technical panel has been fixed, which significantly complicates the assembly of the opening and closing components. Therefore, a technical solution must be conceived in which such a support panel can be assembled within the space defined by the inner panel and outer skin after the inner panel and outer skin have been glued together.

[0012] One solution that has been considered is to pre-assemble the inner panel and the outer skin, and then integrate the support elements and their equipment from the rear, i.e. from the cockpit side (the side opposite the outer skin), through the mounting opening located in the lower part of the inner panel.

[0013] However, an additional drawback is that the aforementioned equipment, which is expected to be positioned as close as possible to the outer skin, needs to be arranged along the entire length of the opening and closing mechanism, extending to both sides. This necessitates large-sized support elements. Installing such support elements into precise positions through mounting openings is extremely complex. This makes the assembly of the support elements and the proper positioning of the equipment they support very difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The object of the present invention is particularly to overcome this deficiency and to provide a motor vehicle opening and closing structure that allows easy mounting of equipment support trays from the vehicle cabin between the lower portion of the inner panel of the opening and closing element and the outer skin.

[0015] Therefore, the present invention relates to an opening and closing component for a motor vehicle, comprising:

[0016] - The inner panel, preferably made of plastic, has an upper portion and a lower portion, a first opening in the upper portion for accommodating a window, and a second opening in the lower portion; and

[0017] - The outer skin, at least partially made of plastic, is placed on the inner panel and includes an inner surface facing the outer surface of the inner panel.

[0018] The opening and closing element according to the invention further includes:

[0019] - An equipment support tray assembled on the inner panel and covered by the outer skin, the support tray being accessible from a second opening; and

[0020] - A guide device that allows the support tray to be blindly assembled between the outer surface of the inner panel and the inner surface of the outer skin through a second opening.

[0021] Because the inner panel has a guiding device that allows for blind assembly of the support tray through the support tray opening—that is, assembly in areas inaccessible to the operator—the operator can insert the support tray between the outer skin and the inner panel without special experience or dexterity. This solution also reduces the risk of installation errors. Furthermore, this solution allows the tray to be assembled onto the removable inner panel, making it possible to remove the support tray without removing the inner panel and outer skin. This significantly facilitates maintenance operations on the support tray and the equipment it carries.

[0022] Advantageously, the guide device allows the support tray to be assembled between the outer surface of the inner panel and the inner surface of the outer skin such that the side end of the tray is adjacent to the side wall of the opening and closing element.

[0023] This allows certain devices (such as light-emitting devices, i.e., lamps) supported by the support tray to reach the side edges of the opening and closing parts, and in particular, it can minimize the light discontinuity between the portion of the taillight supported by the tailgate and the portion supported by the vehicle body.

[0024] Preferably, the guiding device is configured such that the support tray is guided between its initial insertion position and its final assembly position. In the initial insertion position, the support tray extends in a direction that is not parallel to, and preferably substantially perpendicular to, the overall plane that is represented as the second opening, while in the final assembly position, the support tray extends in a direction that is substantially parallel to, the overall plane that is represented as the second opening.

[0025] To simplify the manufacturing of the opening and closing components, at least a portion of the guiding device is integrally formed with the inner plate, for example by molding, and configured as a mounting arm for receiving a support tray.

[0026] To simplify the guidance of the pallet and its assembly on the inner panel, the guiding device includes at least two ribs, each forming a guide groove. The guiding device also includes at least two protrusions, which are preferably interconnected by a columnar rod. The protrusions are integrally formed with the mounting arm of the supporting pallet, for example by molding, and form a pivot with a rotation axis about which the mounting arm of the supporting pallet can pivot until the supporting pallet reaches the assembly position.

[0027] This design is particularly suitable for situations where the side end of a support tray needs to be inserted into a hard-to-reach area (such as the side edge of a tailgate), significantly facilitating the insertion. In practice, the operator simply inserts the support tray through the second opening so that the mounting arm of the tray enters the guide groove formed by the ribs, and the support tray pivots about the axis of rotation of the pivot formed by the pin, moving the tray to the desired assembly position, for example, so that the lighting device carried by the side end of the support tray is closest to the outer skin, located at the side edge of the inner panel and the side wall of the vehicle. To facilitate the insertion and guidance of the mounting arm into the guide groove, the guide groove can have a flared U-shape, which first facilitates the entry of the pin, and then facilitates guiding the pin within its gradually narrowing cross-section until it reaches the bottom of the guide groove, where the mounting arm reaches the desired position for the support tray to pivot.

[0028] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support tray includes a body, a mounting arm extending from the body, and a pin integrally formed with the mounting arm, the pin being configured to insert into a guide groove and pivot about a rotation axis when the mounting arm reaches the end of its stroke within the guide groove.

[0029] The mounting arm protrudes relative to the support tray body, allowing for offset via an offset rotation axis. This makes installation more reliable because the tray body includes fragile light-emitting surfaces and / or electronic devices. Thus, during initial insertion and then during pivoting around the rotation axis, the most vulnerable part of the tray is brought into position while remaining out of contact with other parts of the opening and closing mechanism, until the assembled position is reached.

[0030] Preferably, to further facilitate its installation, the support tray is composed of multiple parts that are assembled with each other.

[0031] In order to shield the support tray from the vehicle cabin, the opening and closing mechanism also includes a trim piece fixed to the inner surface of the inner panel and covering the second opening.

[0032] In order to enable access to the support tray and the equipment located therein and their connecting devices, especially for maintenance operations, the trim is detachably fixed to the lower part of the inner box, for example by riveting, screwing or snapping.

[0033] Advantageously, the support tray includes a device for emitting and / or receiving electromagnetic radiation, and the outer skin includes at least one transmission area facing the device for emitting and / or receiving electromagnetic radiation, the transmission area being made of plastic and at least partially transparent to the electromagnetic radiation.

[0034] Since the support tray supports both the electromagnetic radiation emitting and / or receiving equipment and other equipment, the equipment can share connection devices with these other devices. Furthermore, the integration of the electromagnetic radiation emitting and / or receiving equipment is significantly simplified, and the vehicle's aesthetics are improved, as the equipment is no longer externally mounted on the opening and closing components. Ensuring airtightness (e.g., the airtightness of the lighting block surrounding the lighting equipment) is also eliminated, as the equipment can be directly arranged within the dry area defined by the opening and closing components between the outer surface of the inner panel and the inner surface of the outer skin. Moreover, this solution eliminates the need for specific lampshades based on the shape of the equipment, as the transmission area serves this function. The equipment (or a portion thereof) can also be obscured, for example, by the partial opacity of the outer skin. In the case of lighting equipment, this makes it invisible to observers outside the vehicle when not illuminated.

[0035] Alternatively, to simplify the manufacturing of the outer skin, the transfer area corresponds to the entire outer surface of the outer skin. This not only simplifies the manufacturing of the outer skin but also results in a uniform visual effect, which is more aesthetically pleasing. It also allows other components, such as the car logo, to be placed behind the outer skin so that they are visible, thus eliminating the need to add thickness to the outer skin.

[0036] Advantageously, the opening and closing element constitutes a tailgate or side door. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The invention will be better understood by reading the following description, provided only as an example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the tailgate is used as the opening and closing element of the invention, as shown in the drawings:

[0044] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram showing the different positions of the support tray during its installation inside the tailgate;

[0045] Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the tray in its final assembled position inside the tailgate. Detailed Implementation

[0046] exist Figures 1 to 8 The diagram shows a motor vehicle tailgate 1 and its constituent elements according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] Referring now to all the accompanying drawings, each or a combination thereof illustrates one embodiment of a motor vehicle tailgate 1 conforming to the present invention. The tailgate 1 includes:

[0048] - Preferably, the inner panel 2 is made of plastic, having an upper portion 2A and a lower portion 2B, wherein the upper portion 2A has a first opening 21 for accommodating a window, and the lower portion 2B has a second opening 22; and

[0049] - An outer skin 3, made at least partially of plastic, is placed on the inner panel 2 and includes an inner surface located opposite the outer surface of the inner panel 2.

[0050] Tailgate 1 also includes:

[0051] - An equipment support tray 4 is assembled on the inner panel 2 and covered by the outer skin 3, the support tray 4 being accessible through the second opening 22; and

[0052] -Guide devices 8, 9, 43a that allow the support tray 4 to be blindly assembled between the outer surface of the inner panel 2 and the inner surface of the outer skin 3 through the second opening 22.

[0053] Thus, when the support tray 4 is in its final assembled position 9 within the dry area 5 of the tailgate (in Figure 1 and 8 When visible in the middle, the equipment it carries is thus protected from external environmental disturbances, especially by means of a sealing device (usually achieved by gluing) between the inner panel 2 and the outer skin 3.

[0054] The area of ​​the outer skin 3 opposite the equipment carried by the support tray 4 is the transmission area 32, which is made of plastic and is at least partially transparent to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the equipment. "At least partially transparent to electromagnetic radiation" means that the transmission area 32 allows a sufficient amount of electromagnetic waves to pass through, enough to enable the equipment to perform its function correctly and continuously. In the case of a light-emitting device, for example, this means that the transmission area 32 allows the light emitted by the device to pass through so that it can be seen by an observer outside the vehicle.

[0055] The equipment support tray 4 is a shell forming a hollow container, with its two side ends 42 configured to be received in two correspondingly shaped receiving portions 25 located around the periphery of the inner panel 2 when the support tray 4 is in its assembled position. This reduces the discontinuity in light emission between two adjacent portions of the taillight carried by the tray 4 and the taillight carried by the vehicle body on which the tailgate 1 is mounted, when a light-emitting device (e.g., a taillight) is mounted on the side ends of the support tray 4. The tray 4 includes a fixing interface, whose elements 51a to 51e (in...) Figure 2A and 2B (Highlighted) Allows for attachment to other tailgate components, such as the inner panel 2, outer skin 3, or technical panel (when the component is present within the tailgate). The support tray 4 is removably attached to the inner panel 2 via a fixing interface, more precisely via components 51b, 51c, and 51e located in the upper portion of the tray 4, so that the tray 4 and / or the equipment it carries can be removed for maintenance operations. As for components 51a and 51d, they allow for removable attachment at the lower portion of the support tray 4 (these attachments are not visible in the figures). For example, components 51a and 51d can receive components of corresponding shapes from the inner surface of the outer skin 3, the outer surface of the inner panel 2, or the technical panel 15. The removable attachment implemented at the lower portion of the support tray helps to stabilize the tray within the tailgate and thereby allows for the avoidance of installation gaps or inaccuracies, which could cause noise disturbances or equipment malfunctions during vehicle operation or when opening / closing the tailgate 1.

[0056] The support tray 4 consists of three parts: a central portion 41a, and two side portions 41b and 41c, which together form the main body of the support tray 4. It carries multiple devices 61, 62, and 63. Of course, the tray 4 may include a single device or multiple devices, and the devices may differ from each other (as in this embodiment). These devices may relate to, for example, one or more light-emitting devices that emit electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. These light-emitting devices may be distributed across the entire or partial width of the support tray to establish a desired luminous sign. Thus, if desired, a luminous sign with a continuous appearance across the entire width of the tailgate can be obtained. These devices may also be driver assistance devices, such as radar (which typically emits electromagnetic radiation in the 20 to 80 GHz range), lidar (which typically emits electromagnetic radiation belonging to the infrared spectrum), or a reversing camera. Finally, these devices may also relate to communication devices, such as screens or antennas. Generally, these devices can be any device that requires transparency to light.

[0057] In the configuration described in the accompanying drawings, the central portion 4a includes elements forming the illuminated emblem 61, while the lower regions of the side portions 41a and 41c form left and right signal lights 62. The upper region formed by the combination of the three portions 41a, 41b, and 41c forms a continuous illumination line 63 in the lateral direction of the tailgate 1, thereby achieving an illuminated emblem. This upper portion may also accommodate a large antenna.

[0058] In the assembled position, the side end 42 of the support tray 4 is located in an area where it is adjacent to the side wall of the tailgate 1 (as shown in...). Figure 1 , 7 (As seen in 8), this allows for the extension of the illumination of the luminous markers and / or signal lights 62 of the illumination line 63 via the corresponding equipment carried on the vehicle side wall. This reduces the discontinuous illumination effect between the luminous devices of the tailgate 1 and the luminous devices of the vehicle side wall. For the operator installing the tray on the tailgate, the area where the side ends 42 are located is inaccessible. Therefore, the operator must perform blind assembly of the support tray 4. In the example where the support tray 4 extends over almost the entire width of the tailgate 1, each of its two side ends 42 is located in an area adjacent to the side wall of the tailgate 1. Therefore, in this case, the operator must pass through the second opening 22 to achieve two blind assemblies. In other words, the operator must assemble the first portion of the tray 4 consisting of parts 41a and 41c (as shown in 8) on the tailgate 1. Figures 4 to 6BAs shown, these components are pre-assembled together outside the tailgate 1, and then the second portion (i.e., part 41b) of the support tray 4 is assembled on the tailgate 1. Alternatively, parts 41a and 41c can be installed independently on the tailgate and then connected together. The operator then connects parts 41a and 41b to form the support tray 4. Finally, each side part 41b and 41c is provided with a mounting arm 43 extending from the main body of the support tray 4. This mounting arm 53 includes a pivot member 43a with a rotation axis located at the end of the mounting arm 43. The pivot member 43a is formed by a molded protrusion 9 connected to each other by a cylindrical rod and integrally formed with the mounting arm 43. Assembly is achieved by inserting the pivot member 43a into a guide slot of a guide device, and then, when the mounting arm 43 reaches the end position of its stroke within the guide slot, causing the support tray 4 to pivot about the rotation axis of the pivot member 43a.

[0059] To allow for a simple and repeatable blind assembly of the support tray 4, the tailgate 1 according to the invention is therefore provided with guide devices 8, 9, 43a, configured to guide the support tray 4 (or any portion thereof) between the insertion position I and the assembly position III. In the illustrated embodiment, a portion 8 of these guide devices is integrally formed with the outer surface of the inner panel 2. Of course, these guide devices (or only a portion thereof) can be added to the outer surface of the inner panel 2. These guide devices (especially in…) Figure 6A and 6B The mounting arm 43 (as shown in the figure) includes two ribs 8 (only one of which is visible) and defines two guide slots (only the lower guide slot is visible in the figure). The pivot 43a of the mounting arm 43 can be inserted into the guide slot and guided to translate. The pivot 43a, which includes two protrusions 9 interconnected by a cylindrical rod, has a rotation axis about which the mounting arm 43 of the support tray 4 can pivot when it reaches the end position of the guide slot until the support tray 4 reaches the assembly position III. In a variant of the invention (not shown), the pivot is not necessarily located at the end of the mounting arm. In such a case, the shape of the guide slot is adjusted accordingly to allow the support tray to pivot about the rotation axis of the pivot.

[0060] To facilitate the insertion of the protruding pin 9 and the guidance of the mounting arm 43 in the guide groove, the guide groove has a U-shaped flared opening, which facilitates the entry of the protruding pin 9 at the first moment and then facilitates the guidance of the protruding pin in a cross section that gradually narrows to the bottom of the guide groove at the second moment, where the mounting arm 43 reaches the desired position for pivoting the support tray 4.

[0061] According to a variation of the invention (not shown), the tailgate includes a trim piece for covering the second opening so that it is not visible from the vehicle cabin. Such a trim piece can be removably attached to the inner surface of the inner panel so that it can be removed when the support tray or the equipment it carries requires maintenance.

[0062] The following is based on Figures 4 to 8 To illustrate how the support tray 4 is installed in the dry area 5 of the tailgate 1, which is defined between the outer surface of the inner panel 2 and the inner surface of the outer skin 3.

[0063] The operator positions the first portions 41a and 41c of the support tray 4 to be assembled in front of the second opening 22 of the inner panel 2. Figure 4 ).

[0064] The portions 41a and 41c of the support tray 4 are inserted into the second opening 22 to be arranged in the insertion position of the support tray 4, in which the extending direction of the support tray 4 is substantially perpendicular to the overall plane (not shown) embodied in the second opening 22 (see...). Figure 5 and Figure 7 When the support tray 4 is in the insertion position I, the protruding pin 9 of the pivot 43a of the mounting arm 43 can be easily inserted into the guide groove formed by the rib 8.

[0065] Then, the end of the guide arm 43 is guided in the guide groove until the end of the stroke is reached. The support tray is thus successively in a pivot starting position IIa and a pivot position IIb as an intermediate position: in the pivot starting position IIa, it begins to rotate about the rotation axis of the pivot 43a; then in the pivot position IIb, the side end 42 engages in the receiving part 25.

[0066] Then, the support tray is brought to its final assembly position III, where the side ends 42 of the portions 41a and 41c of the support tray are accommodated within a correspondingly shaped receiving portion 25 defined in the inner panel 2. Such a receiving portion ensures the position of the support tray 4 and prevents the support tray 4 from moving during vehicle movement.

[0067] The same installation process is performed on the second section 41b of the support tray 4, which is located on the opposite side of the tailgate 1.

[0068] Finally, the two portions 41a and 41b of the support tray 4 are connected to each other to form the support tray 4.

[0069] This invention is not limited to the embodiments described, and other embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
